Beer Battered Whiting Fillets with Crispy Chips

 

Serves 4

 

Ingredients
12  whiting fillets
4 large desiree potatoes, cut into wedges
Vegetable oil, to deep-fry & 2 tsp olive oil
225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
1 egg, lightly whisked
375ml (1 1/2 cups) chilled light beer
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt flakes, Lemon wedges, to serve

 

Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking
    paper. Place potato on tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook in oven,
    turning occasionally, for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Meanwhile, place flour in a bowl. Add the egg and stir to
    combine. Gradually whisk in the beer until batter is smooth.
    Season with salt and pepper. Cover and place in the fridge for
    30 minutes to rest.
3. Add enough vegetable oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth
    of 8cm. Heat to 190°C over high heat (when oil is ready a cube
    of bread will turn golden brown in 10 seconds). Dip 2 pieces of
    fish, 1 at a time, into batter to coat. Drain off excess. Deep-fry
    for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Transfer to a
    plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with
    remaining fish and batter, reheating oil between batches.
4. Season with sea salt flakes. Serve with tartare sauce and lemon
    wedges.
